Chapter 1919 The big idea of the police station
According to the relativity theory of spending, when you don’t have enough money to spend and you are always frugal, it must be because someone is helping you spend money or replacing you. You are chic.
So according to this theory, we can infer that if you spend enough, then others will have nothing to spend.
This theory is especially applicable to funding.
Even if it is the world's number one and only TPC, the funds it can use every year are not unlimited. Although it is relatively loose in scientific research, it does not mean that you can spend as much as you want, otherwise other departments can I'm going to be so angry.
And under the condition of a certain quota, each additional 'track' will inevitably crowd out the space of other 'tracks', especially when the peers are enemies. The more peers, the greater the competition.
The two tracks of giant battleships and transformable fighter jets overlap quite a bit with the 'track' that the police department is vigorously promoting now and in the future.
So, as long as Chiba Makoto can achieve results on these two 'tracks', it will definitely squeeze the space of the police department.
The reason for doing this is not that Chiba Makoto wears colored glasses, so he sees that the police station is not a human being inside and outside. It is really the police station, especially those staff officers, who are doing trouble. Manufacturing machine.
Not to mention contributing to the defense of the earth, on the contrary, it often delays us and even creates big troubles.
In the original work, Staff Officer Nagumo launched Plan F, and Staff Officer Quan Teng first launched Project Prometheus, and then came Plan F again. None of them succeeded, so it was just a waste of funds. There is experience in trial and error, but every time they want to make a big deal, they will create a big trouble, let others come to wipe their ass, and by the way, the world will also be involved in a crisis.
It belongs to creating a crisis without a crisis.
So, instead of letting these funds be used by the police department to squander and scare a big water monster, it is better to let Chiba Makoto use it to build something interesting. Even if it is squandered, at least it will not If there is trouble, if it succeeds, it will benefit the world.
Since it was not his own money and could not be put into his own pocket, Chiba Makoto spent it without any guilt. He even thought it was not enough, so he doubled the budget with a stroke of a pen and spent it again. After multiplying by two, it was reported.
Then this outrageous number caused an uproar within TPC.
A tree man named Lu once said that in a room full of people, if you want to open a window, no one will agree, but if you want to lift the roof, others will agree to open the window.
So, in the face of the extremely outrageous funding figures that Chiba Makoto applied for, the project he proposed was not so outrageous.
Compared with the project, everyone wants to know why they spend so much money?
Bang!
Counselor Quan Teng slammed the table and said angrily: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The Edo staff officer across the long table pushed up his glasses so that he could see the plan in his hand more clearly, and said slowly and logically: "It is indeed too much. How about approving part of it first? After the feasibility report of the project is released, we will discuss the remaining "
The other members of the budget committee looked at me and I looked at you, and finally turned their attention to the thick plan in their hands that could be used as a dictionary: about the construction of a large space cruiser and a variable fighter jet Project budget application plan!
Most of it is in a format that you don’t need to read or data for professionals. All they, the executives, have to do is read the last few pages of the budget application, that is, whether the money should be approved and whether it should be approved. How many.
Originally, according to normal procedures, experts and scholars in related fields should be invited to conduct a preliminary review to let them determine the feasibility of the project, and then submit it to the staff department for preliminary review. After passing, it will be submitted to On their side.
After all, everyone here is in a high position and is busy with endless things every day. If you really have to worry about everything big and small, you can't finish it even if you don't sleep or eat for 24 hours a day.
But this time the identity of the applicant is extraordinary, and every move he makes is worthy of attention, not to mention the fact that he is 'asking for money' from TPC for the first time.
Originally, when everyone got together, they just thought that after going through the process, the other party finally asked for money, so they must give it quickly and happily.
Anyway, it’s just a number, a number that doesn’t belong to you, but you can gain the friendship of the other person. It’s money from TPC, and it can build your own relationship, so why not do it.
Until I saw the end, the long series of numbers almost blinded everyone, leaving everyone stunned and dizzy.
Counselor Quan Teng was the one who reacted the most. He directly denied the second company and even slammed the table. Such a loss of attitude showed how shocked he was inside.
In fact, the shock level of others was not low, but they concealed it better. For example, Staff Officer Edo subconsciously raised his hand to push his glasses that had not slipped off, so that he could have a buffer time before speaking out. Words that would never offend anyone.
And his words also attracted an angry look from the staff of Quan Teng. He poked the plan book in his hand with his index finger and almost broke the paper. He said emotionally: "Approval? With so much money, you can make it." Several Mars cities, this is simply a big deal. Will other departments be disbanded next year? Will all the projects be stopped?"
The staff glanced at each other silently. , completed the communication with eyes.
We are all thousand-year-old foxes and cannot play Liao Zhai.
Of course they knew why Staff Officer Quan Teng was so excited. The reason was that he had touched the police station's cake, not just to take a bite, but to take the entire plate.
Not to mention such a large budget, once approved, a series of projects of the Police Department will be cut next year. That is the large space cruiser, which is the same as the space battleship project promoted by the Police Department.
Although human science and technology is developing rapidly now, and TPC has become the only and largest organization in the world, it cannot support simultaneous investment.
After all, the cost of research and development of a space battleship can be said to be astronomical. Even with the experience of the Atdis, it will definitely cost a lot. No matter how rich you are, you can't afford such a hassle.
Originally, TPC was planning to make some magical modifications based on the Atdis and add modern technology to develop and manufacture the second generation Atdis.
This is also the way humans are accustomed to, producing one generation, developing one generation, and reserve one generation.
But here comes someone who doesn't act according to common sense.
The large space cruiser in our hands is more than double the size of the second-generation Atdis on paper, not to mention that it has the capacity to transform into a combat robot in a giant city. port, that is to say, if it is really successful, TPC will not only have a large space cruiser, but also a giant robot equivalent to Ultraman.
The most exciting thing is that it states that in addition to the Max Cannon, which has been mastered by humans, the main weapon will also be equipped with the Specium Cannon, which is a high-energy ore discovered on Mars. The unique high-purity energy it contains. "It is said." Staff Miyazawa of the Scientific Research Department said with twinkling eyes: "Tiga left during this time to go to the Kingdom of Light. Well, it is the Kingdom of Light in the tokusatsu drama in the 1960s."< br>
"Spiceium Rays!"
Staff officer Hiramatsu of the Space Development Agency blurted out that this was the most profound memory of his shock when he first saw Ultraman on a black and white TV when he was a child. Even after the age of knowing his destiny, he still remembers it vividly. .
“Tiga also has Specium Light!”
I don’t know who muttered, causing everyone’s expressions to change and their eyes to communicate again.
Because this is Ultraman’s light!
Since 2007, everyone has known how powerful Ultraman's light is. If it hadn't been for the emergence of the Max Cannon and its powerful destructive power, I'm afraid humans would have fought Ultraman long ago. Manguang's idea.
But even with the Max Cannon, mankind's desire for Ultraman has not disappeared, but has become more intense. However, Masaki Keigo's lesson is that no one dares to make this matter public, even TPC is doing so. All the information on Project F was sealed on the surface and handed over to the intelligence agency's intermediary staff to guard it as a sign of sincerity.
But now, Tiga actually took the initiative to take out the light. Although it is not the core light, it is also the power of Ultraman.
"I think it can be approved. After all, the possibility of success is very high. This is still led by Dr. Yatsuo and the former victory team member Horii." Staff Abby immediately expressed his opinion and strongly appreciated the plan. bold and innovative.
Especially when it comes to the threat of monsters fighting in the city, he highly recommends transformable robots, believing that if there is a robot that can be controlled by humans, the damage and losses in urban combat will be It's better to get a big reduction and invest now than to have a bill later.
Counselor Quan Teng argued hard and stated many times that it was not that he disagreed, but that investing so much at one time would have an impact on the whole. After all, there are so many cutting-edge sciences now, each one is important, and We are still at the crux of research, so we can’t give up halfway.
In the fierce debate, everyone finally reached an agreement, that is, the plan is very good, everyone agrees, but the money is too much, so part of it must be cut, but it is not that it will not be given, but it will be given in batches, that is, first Part of it will be used for team building and early investment, and TPC will also try its best to raise funds during this process and use its best efforts to ensure the normal operation of the project, which will never hinder scientific research.
“So Captain Chiba, everyone is very supportive of your research. The first batch of budget will be deposited into the designated account immediately, and other funds will be raised as soon as possible, which will definitely not delay your progress. .”
As an executive member of the Budget Committee, the Edo staff laughed. He said with a smile, and handed an application with several red seals to Chiba Makoto, which also had the signatures of other members of the budget committee. The budget application representing the large space cruiser and variable combat robot was approved, as long as it was not If it is deemed a total failure, a steady stream of money and resources will be poured in.
"Uh" Chiba Makoto glanced at the number and saw that it had not lost a single point. This was a bit surprising. He followed the convention of 'will be cut off by more than half', first doubled and then multiplied by 2, that is Following the usual routine, I never expected them to be so 'honest'.
Are you attracted by the Specium weapon added by Chiba Makoto, or are you frightened by the 'darkness that swallows stars' proposed by Chiba Makoto?
Otherwise, how could it be so easy to pass?
"Thank you for the support from the headquarters, we will produce results as soon as possible." Chiba Makoto also smiled back, and looked at the Edo staff again, and he felt kind-hearted.
Who would hate a boy who brings money?
—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—
Police Headquarters Building!
The office on the top floor overlooks most of the city. Standing in front of the window will give people the illusion of holding the world in their hands.
Consultant Quan Teng, who had always been arrogant, was standing respectfully at this moment, bending slightly, recounting the meeting of the budget committee, and finally said: "In the end, I followed your instructions and signed "
"Haha!" Chief of Staff Nayun, who was looking at the city with his back turned, smiled and said nothing.
Staff Quan Teng asked in confusion: "Chief of Staff, why do you agree? That guy didn't even go to college, let alone build a spaceship. He can't even build a wooden ship. With this money It's just a waste of time."
"It would be better if it was a waste of time." Chief of Staff Nayun turned around and said confidently: "Everyone hopes that he will get it. The money is wasted.”
"Why?"
"Because of this, we can pay off our debts."
"Ah?"
Chief of Staff Nagumo sat down and picked up the copy The CG picture of a space cruiser with a fantastic shape and huge size said quietly: "Every one of us who survives owes him, no matter what the request is, we will do it." He deserves it.”
Counselor Quan Teng understood immediately. Although people in the political circles are shameless, despicable and dirty, it is normal to tell lies with open eyes, and it is normal for thieves to shout to catch thieves. It is also normal to hold washing powder. When it comes to being a murderer, everyone must put on a coat of justice and kindness. No matter how unethical they are in private, they must be selfless on the surface.
It is because of this kind of "hypocrisy" that when faced with life-saving grace, you must show gratitude. Otherwise, if you don't even repay the person who saved your life, then other people will be murmuring in their hearts.
After all, everyone hopes that other people will be grateful and repay a drop of kindness with a spring of spring, instead of being an ungrateful, profit-seeking, ungrateful villain.
So why this time the budget committee did not follow the procedures and skipped the lower departments directly and let them review it directly. This is because of this.
Of course, the reason for doing this is not because they have to do it, but because they have to do it. After all, even if they gather the power of the whole world, they can't defeat Tiga, and now Chiba Makoto has become a member of TPC. Members belong to 'our own people', otherwise.
“But it’s not all without gain,” Chief of Staff Nagumo said with a smile: “Spiceium energy, everyone is still exploring its use, but Ultraman has weaponized it. If we do this, our ship will become stronger.”
"But..." Staff Officer Quan Teng said hesitantly: "If we send someone there, what if we are discovered?"
"This is a TPC ship." Chief of Staff Nanyun said decisively.
Consultant Quan Teng was stunned for a moment, then nodded in realization.
